2nd BCT Media Links

This blog centralized media links for the 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 2nd Infantry Division during its deployment from Korea to Iraq as part of OIF 2.5, Aug 2004 - July 2005. It was updated daily over the year, with only sporadic updates since. It is left on-line for historical interest (although many links are likely now broken) and as a tribute to the 2nd BCT servicemen who lost their lives serving in Iraq. May they rest in peace and may their legacy be forever remembered.

Combat Fatality

The Department of Defense announced the death of a 2nd BCT soldier.

Pfc. Jesus Fonseca, of the 1-503rd, was killed on 1.17.2005 when a vehicle-borne improvised explosive device detonated near his position. Pfc. Fonseca, of Marietta, GA, was 19 years old.

Pfc. Fonseca is the 13th soldier from the 1-503rd, and the 53rd 2nd BCT serviceman, to die in Iraq while serving our country. Our hearts go out to his family.
